As the late great Derek Bailey noted, free-improv is as stylistic / idiomatic as rock'n'roll, complete with it's very own repertoire of expectations (procedure / protocol) which are all present here.

The only question - as ever - remains, is it actually entertaining? Now, close your eyes, is it still entertaining....?

At best free-improv always seems to want to be a soundtrack to something, in this case it's Han's theatrics. And why not?

I know Han Bennink's work and i admire a lot of things he's done, but i would slap him in the face for being such a dick and ruining this rare meeting of great musicians.

You can feel that good old Ribot gets annoyed after a while.

And that's not "humour", nor "improvisation" - that's clown routine, and i think he'd better do that when he plays with folks like Joëlle Léandre or Tristan Honsinger or Eugene Chadbourne.
